| 162528 |  | Zebra should be upgraded to a Tiger crossing to allow cycling and to restore the through cycle route across the Galleria car park. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 98932 |  | Woods Ave path at crossing of Sycamore Ave. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 98931 |  | Woods Ave new cycle route showing crossing of Chantry Lane. This really should be a raise crossing over the entry to this cul-de-sac road. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 98929 |  | Woods Ave looking west up the new cycle route completed May 2018. Shows the initial section which splits round the trees | Other: Infrastructure general |

| 136667 |  | Widen pavement | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 152037 |  | Widen footpath and reclassify as cycleway to allow access to Hertford road and to make this show on route planners. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 31742 |  | Welwyn Hatfield Cycling Forum family bike ride along NCN57 (Ayot Greenway) about to depart on Sunday 10th July 2011. Photo is at the start of the route, just behind Roller City, Campus West, Welwyn Garden City. | Other: Good practice general |
| 46098 |  | Welwyn Garden City station - the lifts are too small, as at Cambridge. | Other: Problem general |
| 45254 |  | Wellfield Road cycle path looking west. Access to Alban Way NCN61 on bridge via ramp to left. View on Alban Way in #74065. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 139707 |  | Welfield road was intentionally widened an a cost of ten of thousands as a failed traffic calming measure. Joining Alban way with the business park would have done the same thing with paint and some kerbstones. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 156125 |  | We urgently need a cycle path along this road to encourage travel between Old Welwyn and Knebworth and beyond. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 28769 |  | View of the cycle path to north side of French Horn Lane. After the subway ahead it goes north to the rail station. NCN12 is on the road on the right, unable to use the cycle path due to a further lower subway. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 45253 |  | View of new cycle path west along Wellfield Road | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 31745 |  | View from the bridge on NCN12 | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 133199 |  | Very overgrown hedges narrow the path. | Track: Problem track |
| 147905 |  | Very narrow footpath and fast vehicles | Track: Problem track |
| 147906 |  | Very narrow footpath and fast cars | Track: Problem track |
| 164527 |  | Very dangerous junction for children/parents crossing to & from school. Visibility bad up New Road when crossing from east to west. Some sort of crossing is needed to prevent an accident. Hair raising when you child starts to walk independently. | Track: Problem track |
| 160184 |  | Vegetation is overgrowing the footpath. It just needs cutting back and the dead leaf build-up clearing. | Track: Problem track |
| 151906 |  | Use subway under road for bridleway when gravel extraction work ceases to use sites on both sides of road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 151909 |  | Use subway for Bridleway when gravel works cease so cyclists and horseriders can avoid a busy road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 153324 |  | Upgrade zebra to toucan or tiger crossing to link the Alban Way to the cycle paths in De Havilland Village. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 155652 |  | Upgrade to allow cycling to create a legal short cut to Onslow school from South Hatfield. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 166626 |  | Upgrade this path to allow cycling from Woods Ave to Streamwoods including entry to Oak View school. This will encourage cycling to school. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 136661 |  | Upgrade existing well used path to an official dual use foot/cycleway including existing subway at Welwyn village & widen pavement to continue a safe cycle/mobility scooter link all the way from existing cycleways in Welwyn Garden City into the heart of Welwyn village. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 74183 |  | Unsigned junction at Mundells, Welwyn Garden City loking north: Turn left to continue on the cycleway on Bessemer Road. Straight ahead is a route off the road for southbound cyclists and is a dead end if followed north as in the picture. Better signs needed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 143321 |  | Undercover cycle parking at the New QE2 Hospital, Welwyn Garden City | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 134949 |  | Traffic lights need timing changes, they take an excessive amount of time to stop traffic and therefore encourage crossing without the green man | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 62848 |  | Toucan crossing where Woods Ave cycle path west side starts | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 62840 |  | Toucan crossing of Queensway | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 164526 |  | To incorporate a pavement, make the traffioc one way along this section of road (between Station Road and New Road) & then the traffic in the other direction can access via Adele Avenue | Track: Problem track |
| 124428 |  | Tighten corner to reduce speed of cars coming off Hertford Road northbound. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 143871 |  | This section of the Alban Way needs lights to be usable safely after dark especially in the winter months. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 164309 |  | This section of Brockswood Lane should be closed to cars and made a bridleway. The lane has attractive views over the golf course and would quickly become a popular walking route - currently it has no footpath and a deregulated speed limit. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 138100 |  | This path is under water for much of the year. Difficult to know to fix it. Perhaps build a wall so that the river runs above the level of the path. | Track: Problem track |
| 158412 |  | This is dangerous junction for pedestrians to negotiate. The pedestrian path, such as it is, is very narrow. The lack of a proper path seems to encourage pedestrians, having crossed the slip road for the northbound carriageway of the A1(M), to cross another carriageway for fast traffic onto the roundabout then another for traffic coming off the roundabout. How are parents and carers accompanying young children, wheelchair users and unaccompanied children expected to negotiate this junction? Does vehicular traffic have to dominate here? Pedestrians are not allowed? Wider, properly surfaced pavements and pelican crossings are needed. | Track: Problem track |
| 133205 |  | This is a no through route to cycling, requiring riders to dismount. Fix this. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 133206 |  | This is a dead end, but could easily be opened to cycling. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 152029 |  | There needs to be a pedestrian crossing here. This is a natural place for pedestrians to cross and the road is busy 40mph. It ridiculous to think that the low and narrow footpath under the road is adequate on its own. | Track: Problem track |
| 152495 |  | There is no safe link between Welwyn village & Digswell, Welwyn North station, Welwyn Garden City. This is a busy dual carriageway, and whilst there is a path, it is narrow, and not wide enough for pedestrians and cyclists. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 165422 |  | There is currently no safe way for pedestrians to cross the road between Mandeville Rise and Coneydale, due to the layout of the roads and pavements. It is especially concerning given how close these roads are to Templewood School, as families and young children use these roads to go to and from school. | Track: Problem track |
| 164352 |  | The path is narrow. The road is narrow. Vehicles pass dangerously close to pedestrians - including kids going to school. Vehicles often mount the (narrow) pathway to pass each other. 1. Widen the pavement from Station Road to the A1000 roundabout and 2. add a pedestrian crossing at the junction with Station Road. | Track: Problem track |
| 42126 |  | The NCN 61 cycle route Location: , Panshanger Aerodrome (England, United Kingdom) | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 147973 |  | The cycleway along Black Fan road crosses the Ridgeway, but there is no facility to assist. With the roads be busy and multiple directions to watch crossing here can be difficult | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 162527 |  | The cycle path has been removed at this point so there is no through cycle route from St Albans Road West to the toucan crossing of the A1001. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 89867 |  | The crossing island is too small for a cycle to stop. You must cross the road in one go | Road environment: Problem road |
| 124391 |  | Temporary widening of pavements and one way road means there is no way northbound for cyclists. A contraflow lane is needed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 124392 |  | Temporary widening of pavements and one way road means there is no way northbound for cyclists. A contraflow lane is needed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 124393 |  | Temporary widening of pavements and one way road means there is no way northbound for cyclists. A contraflow lane is needed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 124451 |  | Temporary widening of pavements and one way road means there is no way northbound for cyclists. A contraflow lane is needed. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 167391 |  | Swing left for the bridleway from Woolmer Green to Welwyn - that's a footpath towards Welwyn Viaduct | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 167392 |  | Swing left for the bridleway from Woolmer Green to Welwyn - that's a footpath towards Welwyn Viaduct | Track: Infrastructure track |
| 149819 |  | Sustrans have rightly decided National Cycle Route 12 via this roundabout is no longer safe and have removed it from their official map. Work is needed to fix this or divert the route via the cycle paths by the station. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 149821 |  | Sustrans have decided National Cycle Route 12 via this junction at Oxlease Drive is no longer safe and have removed it from their official map. Work is needed to fix this or divert the route via the cycle paths along Woods Ave and Travellers Lane. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 149820 |  | Sustrans have decided National Cycle Route 12 via Old Rectory Drive and How Dell is no longer safe and have removed it from their official map. Work is needed to fix this or divert the route via the cycle paths alongside Queensway. As this removes a cycle route to Onslow school this is a shame. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 149817 |  | Sustrans have decided National Cycle Route 12 via Old Hatfield is no longer safe and have removed it from their official map. Work is needed to fix this or diver the route via the cycle paths by the station. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 149818 |  | Sustrans have decided National Cycle Route 12 via Old Hatfield is no longer safe and have removed it from their official map. Work is needed to fix this or diver the route via the cycle paths by the station. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 154330 |  | Surface Bridleway from A1000 to Mill Green Museum and link to crossing at traffic lights. Along with existing cycle path alongside A414 creates a safe cycle route bypassing Ascots Lane at low cost. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 74068 |  | Subway under Great North Road Hatfield. This could be used to divert NCN12 away from a busy roundabout, but rulled out because the subway is too low to be legally acceptable. Hertfordshire County Council should take the view this is still safer than the roundabout shown in #74069. View from east end #74077. Note that the subway is only a footway, not shared use, hence the white line to define the cycle route. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 74077 |  | Subway from Batterdale linking to French Horn Lane cycleroute. This could be used as a better route for NCN12 avoiding the roundabout in #74069 but not allowed as subway is deemed too low. View from other end is in #74068. Note this is footway not cyclepath so cannot be cycled. | Other: Problem general |
| 132920 |  | Street lights in middle of payment next to overgrown hedge. | Track: Problem track |

| 63220 |  | Spiral bridge on NCN12 over South Way, Hatfield. This was originally built to serve a School, now closed. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 133690 |  | Speedbumps are full width of road. Make a lane for cycles to access the *park* as they don't need to be slowed down. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 31743 |  | South end of Wrestler's Bridge Hatfield on NCN61 looking north. The original bridge here collapsed in 1966. Riders are about to set off on a ride to open a new cycle route in Welwyn Garden City led by Welwyn Hatfield Cycling Forum | Road environment: Event road |

| 74090 |  | Signal at Nast Hyde Halt, Ellenbrook, Hatfield. The signal has a short history of the railway and was erected as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations in 2015 by a local resident who has been restoring the station and keeping the cycle route in immaculate condition. See the station sign in #74089 and also look out for the clock and other signs. | General sign/notice: Good practice signs |
| 74078 |  | Sign misdirecting cyclist and pedestrians to go north from Hatfield station to get to the town centre. The town centre is 0.6 miles by walking or cycling in the opposite direction, yet this is only signed South Hatfield! | Route sign: Problem routesigns |

| 124441 |  | School street closure at opening and closing times. Cars can avoid via Campion Road | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 116921 |  | Road very fast and number of lanes could be reduced to single each way, enabling a cycleway into the town centre from the east side. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 165100 |  | Road needs a proper surface to enable it to be more easily used to avoid the B197 | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 164338 |  | Road has no pavement! Build one to enable families to walk safely and avoid the cars. | Track: Problem track |
